Description

Best of the old and new! This 19th century farmhouse sits on 2.5 acres and has been completely redone from top to bottom and from inside out with several practical additions: the 4 seasons room on the south features a concrete floor capable of supporting a hot tub; the room itself is tongue-and-groove cedar with a vaulted ceiling; the 18'x18' gazebo room on the north is a terrific heated and air conditioned space with tongue-and-groove siding, fireplace, and multiple sets of sliding doors to the...Best of the old and new! This 19th century farmhouse sits on 2.5 acres and has been completely redone from top to bottom and from inside out with several practical additions: the 4 seasons room on the south features a concrete floor capable of supporting a hot tub; the room itself is tongue-and-groove cedar with a vaulted ceiling; the 18'x18' gazebo room on the north is a terrific heated and air conditioned space with tongue-and-groove siding, fireplace, and multiple sets of sliding doors to the outside. It is part of an in-law suite including a main floor bedroom and full bath. An office off the dining room has sliding doors leading to a wrap around multi-layered 180 degree deck with pergola. The formal dining room features a tray ceiling with indirect lighting, period style wall paper, a picture rail, and elegant draperies. The updated kitchen has a wood parquet tile floor, newer oak cabinetry and all the modern conveniences. The living room has crown molding, contemporary colors, corner fireplace, and opens to the sun room. The 60 inch RCA home theatre and surrounding cabinetry are included. ALL interior trim is original, having been stripped and restored. The residence has newer vinyl siding, windows, roof, w/ two furnaces and three central air conditioning units. The hobby shop is 30'x70' and is divided into two distinct areas: an auto lover's dream 4 stall shop with 4 ton lift, concrete floors with drain, and its own furnace and air conditioning. Water is supplied from the residence. The other part of the hobby shop is finished with ceramic tile flooring and tongue-and-groove walls and vaulted ceiling. This part of the shop has its own furnace, air conditioning, and full bathroom which is fed by an on-demand water heater. It could be used as an office, a business showroom, or a studio apartment. The other main outbuildings include a 1950 dairy barn (which could be used as an auction barn) and a motor home storage building. A darling potting shed is adjacent to the deck surrounding the house. A heated and air conditioned dog kennel building with small office and wood shop completes the set. ALL buildings ( expect the dairy barn) have NEW siding, soffits, and fascia.
